Owaisi questions RSS role in freedom struggle
Hyderabad: Hyderabad, October 03 (KMS): All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi, taking exception to Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailing the RSS for its role in nation building, launched a sharp attack on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
According to Kashmir Media Service, Asaduddin Owaisi addressing a gathering in Hyderabad said that none of RSS members had either gone to jail or sacrificed their lives for the nation after the organisation’s formation in 1925.
The British archives clearly state that RSS workers never participated in the freedom struggle and posed no threat, he said.
“Furthermore, the RSS magazine ‘Organizer’ wrote on August 14, 1947 that the three colours of Indian flag were inauspicious. This was known to the PM, but ignored,” Owaisi said.
When the Constitution was adopted on November 23, 1949, the RSS wrote in ‘Organizer’ that they don’t need that Constitution, saying they needed ‘Manusmriti’ instead, he said.
The second Sarsanghchalak (head) of RSS M S Golwalkar, in his book ‘Bunch of Thoughts’, labeled Christians, Muslims, and the Left as internal threats to India, he said.
The RSS repeatedly doubted India’s Muslims, but the first person sent to ‘Kala Pani’ (Andaman Cellular Jail) was Maulvi Allauddin Rahmatullah from Hyderabad, he claimed.
